I thought I cleared this up. We think it just messes with your head like a bad chemical reaction because things the light novel expands on about how they treat goblin victims.I can't help it man, poisonous Goblin semen just makes me mad hard

I think the difference between Berserk and Goblin Slayer is that Berserk spent time building up and developing Casca to we can empathize with her as a person so seeing her turned into basically a sex object is supposed to enrage us because we, the audience, know after the entire Golden age arc that it's flat out disgusting. In contrast, both the Spellcaster and Fighter are codified as eye candy right out of the gate especially in contrast to the Priestess, who's not only more modest in comparison but it actually came out of the thing the least scathed, so it makes what happens to Spellcaster and Fighter look more titillating because they're the most titillating characters to begin with. And yeah, Casca does get naked a couple of times in Berserk but those also come during moments of intimacy with Guts and she's never codified as a fan service character otherwise.I'm going to be honest the anime wasn't titillating at all. It was just a horror show.
The manga could be more titillating because it lingered more but I really don't know how you do a rape in anime that people wont try and make it hentai. I mean the berserk anime left out guts rape as a child because they were afraid people would be aroused by it. People complained about Casca's rape because they thought it was erotic.
Attractive people getting raped is going to get someones jollies off but I'm not gonna tell writers they should only have ugly people rape and be rapists because that is stupid as shit.
To me if you got turned on by Casca's rape or the Rape in goblin slayer than you got to look at yourself.
Also the goblin slayer rape was literally a few seconds, They show her getting her clothes torn off and pinned and then gripped than cut away for a few seconds and only cut to her face moving slightly to let you know that its actually happening than cutting back. It was handled pretty tastefully.
The manga lingered alot longer and to me they took it to far there but the anime cut it between just it being a small footnote like the light novel and over exposing the whole act.
Weird question about Goblin Rape(that's a thing I just typed), how was it in the original LN?
Just curious to hear how bad it was, or if the people adapting the manga and anime are taking some creative liberties for the sake of fan service.
Type A bashes Goblin Slayer to demonstrates their genuine upset
ftfy but i guess you're a mind reader so everyone's gotta be faking it for #moralpoints or whatever the fuck is being argued here
Hahah, nice. :PI can't help it man, poisonous Goblin semen just makes me mad hard
Whooooooa slow down there cowboy. You wouldn't want to be caught using gamergate-esque rhetoric and called out.My mind reading super power tells me that you saw the phrase "moral superiority", got triggered, and then rushed to post your hot take without reading the rest.

But how can anyone be genuinely upset at goblin semen poisoning rape victims when someone directed torture porn 10-15 years ago?ftfy but i guess you're a mind reader so everyone's gotta be faking it for #moralpoints or whatever the fuck is being argued here
The poster isn't wrong and nothing in the rest of the posts claims that people may be also genuinely upset rather than having some sort of moral superiority stance, but go ahead and just reply with "hot takes" and "triggered" in order to avoid being called on your hot take.My mind reading super power tells me that you saw the phrase "moral superiority", got triggered, and then rushed to post your hot take without reading the rest.

But clearly, still using his mind reading powers, people who dislike Goblin Slayer call the show's fans degenerates from their moral superior high horse.I mean the person you're quoting just doubles down in the post. "I don't feel the urge to scream "Degenerates" in their faces either.". Saying I should read the post (I had) to find out their REAL argument only works when the rest of their content actually disputes the reading. Some of us care about facts!
We've compared it to exploitation flicks about a dozen pages back. I can understand the exploitative elements in, say, I Spit on Your Grave, and at the same time criticize those elements. I'd advise you not to worry about moralizing or namecalling. It's the internet. Be like me and save your stubborn indignation for a less heated topic like politics!It's mostly two types of posts in the for/against the show arguments :
Type A bashes Goblin Slayer to demonstrates their moral superiority
Type B defends the show, but tip toes around problems like does the rape has to be fetishized to prove a point.
I think Goblin Slayer is like the Saw movie franchise. Saw has an iconic trap that can rip a person's face apart, do the audience need to see that before they are convinced that Jigsaw MIGHT be a deranged psycho killer? No, because Saw belongs to a genre called torture-porn, face ripping is the money shot.
Like Goblin Slayer, Saw is a very successful movie franchise with many many sequels. Torture-porn isn't my things, but everytime I pass by people lining up to see Saw, I don't feel the urge to scream "Degenerates" in their faces either.
Does everyone realized by now that Goblin Slayer is a JRPG satire that leans on controversial contents to distinguish itself from the other 20,000 Isekai anime and manga?
Nobody hates a show to feel morally superior. That's not how feelings work.
I disagree with this because if you look at how they frame the rape scene, they prioritize showing off the fighter's body instead of trying to instill a sense of horror.I'm going to be honest the anime wasn't titillating at all. It was just a horror show.

Honestly, that's old hat. My favorite bit was him claiming that Goblin Slayer is satire.I mean they basically already used the word "Virtue signalling" without saying it
Any spoilers you can give about what's going on in the current novels. I thought I remember you mentioning something about the goblins changing or gaining a scary ability.
Well,there's a new type of Goblin never previously existed that, interestingly enough, actually worship a 'good' God; it's basically a Hero type Goblin. Goblins are also used by the Demon Lord to wreck havoc although, hilariously, the Demon Lord later actually forbid his army to employ Goblins because he doesn't want Goblin Slayer coming in and ruining his shit, as he tends to do as a collateral thing when he hunt Goblins, lol
*Watches first two episodes*
...
That's what all the fuss is about?
Mostly just strikes me as an edgelord-ish deconstruction:
"What would actually happen if a bunch of newbie adventurers tried to take on monsters?"
"They'd screw it up due to inexperience and get stabbed to death in the dark of course."
"Oh, and all the women would get raped lololol"
Deconstruction of RPG tropes isn't the worst premise I've ever heard of, although I suspect it's been done better elsewhere. Basically lost me when Mr Stoic McBadass turns up to show the noobs how to git gud. Definitely lost me with the most generic backstory of all time.
Not exactly blowing my mind in terms of visual design or animation quality either.

For shit tier she keeps saving the entire party from wiping like a skilled healer would. :pWatched the first 6 episodes today. It was pretty good. First two episodes were the darkest but it after that it seemed to be pretty good. The elf seems like a direct rip off of the elf from Dragon's Crown. The priestess is the worst character. Typical anime shit tier character.
Not criticizing her ability, just her anime mannerismsFor shit tier she keeps saving the entire party from wiping like a skilled healer would. :p
The rest of the series is kinda what you want. Also the gobin Slayer is the main character and it's not really a harem anime... Wait people are calling goblin Slayer a harem anime?I watched the first episode yesterday and, sans the rape bit, I thought it was... okay. Kind of wish the Goblin Slayer was the main character, I hated all of those other kids.
But it's... what, some goblin harem anime? Is that right? I'm not down with that, I want more brutal goblin killing.
And less rape. Preferably none.

Like, romantically? Where I last watched the party was pretty balanced and only 1 person showed what could be considered romantic attraction.Yeah due to the fact he has about 5 ladies who want to be by his side.

Huh, I need to catch up. Things moved from where I left off.Oh man… not sure what I can say in this thread but at least 3 characters want him in that kind of sense. Another 1 maybe and the last one not too sure.
You've never seen a harem anime, have you?Like, romantically? Where I last watched the party was pretty balanced and only 1 person showed what could be considered romantic attraction.
I've seen several, what one's have you seen where no female members have an interest in the mc (at the point I left of none of the actual party did)?
